Just information. I'm sure if you guys are aware, but there was an Amtrak, a vehicle versus a train, rolling Amtrak train.

00:08

No passenger trains were involved.

00:10

It occurred in Western Springs at 914 Burlington, but it is causing a delay to a lot of trains due to them being stopped now.

00:20

Seven, tell me.

00:22

(name withheld), go ahead.

00:25

Yeah, we can send a vehicle to that, and then you can call me for any patrol issues.

00:32

I think 14 is down on something.

00:35

Seven.

00:38

Metro 14.

00:42

14, go ahead.

00:44

10-8, Metro 14, are you able to respond to the AOA St.

00:47

Amtrak in reference to the train versus vehicle at the Willow Springs station, 914 Belleville Avenue?

Are our officers down for that unit for that beat?

01:01

If they are, I'll head to it.

10-20 Metro 14, I can recheck the schedule.

I need a Metro 44 for an AOA.
